Many things in Nature happen over and over again. These cycles are usually timed
by a 28-day clock. Some are longer, some are shorter, but usually their period is related
to the 28-day cycle. A life form lives as part of these cycles. The Moon circles the
Zodiac in about 28 days. The cycles of the Moon bring out certain feelings. The Moon is
telling us that we should stay in our natural cycles and certain things should stay
untouched.

Every species has a niche, which is its place in its environment. You cannot leave
it and still be you. It is what makes you what you are Species do evolve, but only when a
change in the environment allows them to change. Progressive men often try to change their
world but all they accomplish is the creation of a world that they are not made to live
in. Progressive men try to change themselves. They are destroying themselves, as they make
themselves unfit for Nature. If you try to touch what you shouldnt, you will get
hurt, or hurt someone else. If you really step out of line Nature will kill you.

"NEM" is that which cannot be touched. Imagine a. bridge. Aphrodite is
where you can step. Nem is over the side, where you cant step because there is
nothing to step on. Nem is nothing but it does exist and it is part of Nature.
Understanding Nem can give a lot of wisdom, and it is the only true wisdom. Man is a
predator by nature. Our place in Nature is to kill. Kill or be killed is divine wisdom. We
must know our place and live as part of our environment rather than trying to control it.
The only way to have a balance with Nature is to be part of Natures balance. If you
try to leave your place, you will die. Natural selection keeps us human. The untouchable
can kill. The untouchable keeps the touchable what it is.

The temple represents the real world and the world is surrounded by nothing,
because the real world is all that there is. Any one believing in anything other than
reality is trying to touch the Moon, and chasing after an imaginary butterfly. A
progressive belief is an example of this insanity. We live in a limited universe, and
beyond those limits there is nothing. Nothing acts as a barrier to life because if you try
to go beyond it, you will fail. Progress might have great expectations, but it will fail
as it tries to do the impossible. Perhaps we dont know the limits. The guy who
invented DDT probably thought he was creating a better world, but his belief of a better
world with DDT was not there in his future. Instead, DDT poisoned the world. If the guy
had just stayed in his place in Nature, and never tried to progress, the world would not
be as poisoned as it is today.

You will feel pain when you begin to step over the limit. This warning tells you
that something is wrong and you should do something else. Diana is waiting. She wont
let you touch her. She will kill you before you pass. She has her bow pulled and her arrow
is ready to fire. To try to go beyond this summit would be insane. It would also be a sin.
When civilized people break out of the limits of Nature they are committing a sin. They
feel some pain when things go wrong, but they dont realize that it means to stop
civilization. Instead they add more civilization, to Fight the pain, and end up breaking
farther and farther out of the limits. They follow an imaginary butterfly outside of the
limits, and they insanely keep following it. They are trying to touch that which should
not be touched. When they destroy the Sacred Grove they are committing the ultimate sin.
If man keeps progressing, eventually Artemis is going to just kill us. She has given us a
lot of warnings. The pain that civilization creates should be a warning. Just look around
you, and look at all the horrible things civilization does.

The Sacred Grove is most important. Temples can be replaced, but the Sacred Grove
must always be left untouched. It represents the untouchable. You may ask, why have one?
The only way to know this is to let one grow and find out for yourself. It should be
located on land you could use. Leaving it on land you dont really want is not good
enough. It should be the best land that you sacrifice to Nature, and let Nature do what it
wants on it. Some are completely untouchable. Some may allow people to walk or play in it.
It should be as big as possible and you should have as many as possible. Perhaps we should
turn the entire state of California into a Sacred Grove.

A long time ago, I thought about the Sacred Grove. All those life-haters in
civilization want to make everything dead. The insane disease of civilization has spread
too far, and one of the reasons why it has spread so far is because it cant leave
something alone. I will tell people to leave a part of Nature alone, to at least prove
theyre sane. Nature is complex and Man is interconnected with it. By saving part of
Nature you will be saving a piece of yourself. Ill tell them they can worship their
imaginary Gods if the want, but they should also worship something real, like a Sacred
Grove.

You must never cut the Grove. If you do, you will be killing your Goddess. Each
tree is a nymph and she can be a virgin. If she wants to be untouchable, she should be
left that way. We must keep the balance and remain part of Natures balance. The
Grove is proof that we have kept the balance. It should last thousands of years. Some
forests occasionally burn down as part of their natural ecology. If your Grove is one of
these, you must let it burn the way it has to, but dont start the fire yourself.
Usually the Grove should be left so that any tree that naturally grows on it can, but
sometimes it is permissible to have a Grove where you plant trees, or where you take care
of the trees, but you should leave something completely, natural that you dont
touch.

Some artists make gardens that follow patterns that they say are natural. The
patterns are often pretty, but are not natural. In civilization, too many people strain
their environment. They need to make everything functional to support their system. They
make these gardens to give them psychological relief. They use Nature, rather than letting
Nature to act freely. They destroy real Nature and replace it with artificial life. The
gardens are as artificial as DDT. The gardens are pretty pollution. They often bend trees
into unnatural twisted forms, much in the same way that civilization twists men into
unnatural shapes. Civilized people are so brainwashed that they think it is natural to be
unnatural. The people who go to artificial gardens do not feel real Nature. Real Nature is
not artificial; it is loaded with danger. The dangers make life. Without them, life would
not be life. The garden removes these dangers. All the normal, natural event, such as
disease, fires and floods should be left to happen in the Sacred Grove. Man needs real
Nature. The Sacred Grove is inside you.

In my religion, we leave the Grove to Nature and protect it from anyone who might
harm it. You dont have to like it, but if you harm the Sacred Grove, one of its
guardians has the right to kill you, and this is my religion.

Civilization sets limits on Man, but these limits are not the same as the ones we
naturally should have. We must find our natural limits. Civilization has broken out of
natural limits and now destroys the natural world. The Sacred Grove can represent limits
that as part of Nature we choose to obey. If ever we get the urge to cut it down, we know
that we are breaking these limits and that we should search for a way to find those limits
again.

We must leave the Grove alone, even if a time may, come where a society thinks it
needs to touch the Grove. Any tribe that cant leave a piece of land alone is doing
something wrong and should die. Another tribe that can better live as part of Nature will
take its place. There should be many tribes rather than this one big over powerful
civilization we have today. Society should be free to be what it is, rather than forced,
by a system, to be what it isnt. Different societies will have different paths. What
works in one society might not work in another. A lot of unhappiness is caused by one
society imposing its ways on another. Nature will decide who survives and who
doesnt. Societies will die when they no longer fit Nature. In the long run, a
society would be better able to survive if it had a Sacred Grove and made itself part of
Nature. How they treat their Sacred Grove would be how they treat themselves. This will
also free them to live the way of their natural instincts. It is the kind of world I would
like.

You might wonder why it is necessary to use religion to fight civilization. The
answer is because civilization is also a religion. It is caused by people believing in it.
To stop, it we need another belief. All religion is magic. Man is under
civilizations spell. In order to break the spell I have to use a form of magic.
There are probably several ways Man could stop civilization. I have chosen to preserve the
Sacred Grove because its a good thing to do. Even if civilization never existed, it
would still be a good thing to do.

Other religions think they are doing good. Some want to join some God, so they go
through great torture to join him. It would be funny if God never wanted them to do that.
Some want to find some higher state, which probably doesnt exist. Some religions
believe in peace and harmony. These religion usually end up killing many people and
causing many wars to get this peace and harmony, perhaps because peace and harmony are not
really in harmony with anything. Some religions want to save your soulas if your
soul needed savingbecause it was born to be damned unless it gets saved. Some
religions wait for the day when something will happen. Its never happened yet.
Its fascinating to study all the different kinds of insanity called religion. I
guess Ill add another one to the list, with this Sacred Grove religion.

The 28-day lunar cycle should also be part of the temple. Usually it is
represented by a circle of 28 pillars surrounding the temple. Each pillar represents a
night. The space between the pillars represents a door to nowhere, because there is
nothing outside the 28-day cycles. Each pillar should be connected to its neighbor by a
beam. This connection is called an Eko. Each Eko represents a virgin wood nymph, who
should be left a virgin. The Ekos should form an unbroken circle of repeating cycles. The
pillars can be made of stone for a permanent temple or logs for a temporary temple.

The symbol for Eko P is also the symbol for circumference. The Ekos should be the
same size and big enough for a person to walk through. A circle of 28 Ekos is about nine
Ekos wide. Traditionally, going back to Ancient times, the magic circle for one person is
nine feet wide. A circle for a coven could be nine yards wide. A bigger circle can be any
size as long as it follows some kind of regular pattern that imitates a pattern in nature.
It should be big enough to fit all the people attending a ritual.

Usually, the temple should be outside in the open, but if you need a shelter, you
can build the Eko circle as a lodge that is separate from the temple. If so it should be
West of the temple, with one of the Eko openings in the East to see the Earth Temple and
the rising Sun. The lodge can have a pillar in the middle, with beams connecting all the
other pillars to this center pillar. The middle pillar is called Deus. He is Man at the
center of the temple and the one God as center of everything, who is connected to each of
the 28 days of the life circle. Tuesday, the day of Mars, means Deus day. The Deus is the
Tree of Life called Tyr, which is another name for Mars.

A roof can rest on top of the beam. You can give the Deus lodge walls if its
very cold but you should not have them if its warm. You can put the temple in the
lodge if you want, and build an Eko circle around the temple. The 28 pillars represent a
month, and they are divided into four seven-day-weeks, by the four quarters of the temple.
Twenty-eight is the number of the life cycles and seven is life. Twenty-eight is the
mystic number of seven, because 1+2+3+4+5+6+7=28. Twenty-eight is the mystic truth of
life.

Pagans

Not all pagan religions worship Nature. While in New York, I visited a priestess
who believed that each element has a guardian She would give gifts to these guardians and
believed that the guardians would let her have power over the elements. As far as I could
tell, she had no actual love for the elements; she just wanted the guardians to give her
power. If she was a true Nature-Worshiper, she would love the elements. A Nature cult
could also worship the Guardians, but in order to be a Nature cult, it also should worship
the elements. I really dont know if her guardians exist or not. I doubt she has any
real power. Her religion was descended from the religion in the Yoruban civilization in
Africa. This was a very cruel civilization, whose religion seemed to emphasize power over
things. It seems to me that the Yorubans, like most civilized people, have forgotten how
to love nature, and instead worship insane ideas. The Yoruban religions seem to emphasize
fear of Nature and its forces. This sounds civilized. A lot of scholars assume the Yoruban
religion is typical of primitive religions. They fail to see that it developed in at
civilized society.

An example of true Nature worship would be the way some Australian aborigines
consider the animals, the plants, and the rocks to be important parts of a great vision
called "the Dream Time." They might claim to worship one God, but the way they
feel about the Earth also seems to be a form of worship. Sometimes they depict how they
see the Earth in paintings and dances. They consider themselves part of the land they live
in, as if they, too, are part of the Dream Time, which happened long ago when the creator
formed the Earth and gave them their rituals and laws. Some American Indians consider the
Earth their mother and one of their closest relatives. They sometimes mention that
Europeans have forgotten that the Earth is the mother of all men. African Bushmen equate
sex with food and see it all as good. Pygmies see themselves as part of the forest and its
complex environment, which provides everything they need. Eskimo shamans see a universe
that wants Man to feel at home. Hunter-gatherers have a balance with Nature, by being part
of Natures balance. They do not destroy Nature the way civilization does.

Many primitive holy men worship a Great Spirit who is everything. They try to be
in harmony with the Great Spirit, by acting in a sacred manner, where life becomes a form
of prayer. Some primitive holy men claim to worship only the Great Spirit. They might
claim that they do not actually worship the Sun, but they do occasionally pray to the
Great Spirit when they see the Sun. A primitive mans sacred manner includes things
in Nature, which a civilized man might forget. I call it worship. Perhaps it is better to
call it celebration done in a sacred manner in harmony with the Great Spirit. The Great
Spirit is actually a great mystery that you should learn as you go through life. In
Northern Europe it was called Wyrd. The Sioux call it Wakan, which also means weird.
Shaman is a Siberian word, which means "He who knows."

Lets say someone says Sun God. He could mean the Sun, or the guardian of the
Sun, or a God who reminds him of the Sun. Youd have to ask him, or study his
religion. Sometimes, in myth, you might hear a story about a God who wins the Sun and
becomes its guardian. This could still mean that he is the Sun. Youd have to study
all the facts of the story carefully in order to interpret it properly. To understand a
God, observe what it means to people and how it affects them.

The White Goddess is popular with feminist neopagan writers who say that she is a
nature Goddess. In the myth about the White Goddess and Apollo, the two are supposed to be
enemies. Feminists emphasize change in people. They want civilized women working in
civilized jobs. Their ideal working woman is a very Apollonian dream. It seems to me that
the White Goddess is Apollo, in one of his many forms. Many people think their God is one
thing, when actually it is a different thing.

The White Goddess-worshipers dont equate their female Goddess with Apollo
because they think Apollo is only male. They think that all male Gods are connected with
patriarchal culture, which causes men to want to dominate. They might say that men feel
the need to dominate because they are too immature or too afraid to confront their
psychological shadows, so they focus their inadequacies into antisocial behavior. Gloria
Steinem wants to teach women to find a sense of self-worth; one denied them by patriarchal
culture. It sounds good until you notice that many of her stories are about people finding
a place as part of progress. Her "self-esteem" is the insane ecstasy of
progress.

Whenever I am with a feminist, always get a feeling that she wants me to change
the way I want to act. It is just like being with a Nun. The object to something about my
attitude, but I am not sure what it is. They, think that I would understand once I change.
They think the music that I listen too is disgusting. What do they want me to do? Perhaps
they want me to lie and say that I dont have this attitude. They want me to pretend
to be something that I am not. Maybe they want to change me until even my attitude would
change. Feminists have a tendency to believe that they must reeducate people. They
domesticated people, just like every other form of civilization. Apollo has many faces.

White Goddess-worshipers might think that men cause all the problems in the world.
They might say that long ago, when we were part of Nature, the Goddess ruled with women as
the masters of men. They see a great temple with women priestesses that existed before the
Goddess religion was replaced by the patriarchal God religion. They ignore the fact that
back in ancient times, most of those priestesses at the Goddesss temples were
actually men as she-males.

A myth does not have to be factually true to have some other kind of truth. I
think that the meaning of the White Goddess story is also untrue, because I have seen
women make many of the same mistakes and adopt many of the same false beliefs as men.
There are Apollonian women. There are Zeus-worshipping women. There are women who hate
Aphrodite. Perhaps these women have been influenced by patriarchal society, or perhaps,
even without male influence, women could create a civilization as evil as anything men
have made. It doesnt matter what sex the Gods are. Zeus can be female, with a
different name, and still be the same old Zeus. By worshipping the White Goddess, they
could be ignoring real nature.

People can feel a need to conform to the ways of others. It is part of Mans
social instincts. Civilization does not always have to force people to conform. It can
seduce people into its trap, by making its ways fashionable. All you need is enough
propaganda. Some civilizations become experts at manipulating propaganda. They invent any
lie they want and can make people accept the lie.

Perhaps many bad points-of-view are the product of bad culture. Feminists try to
change the culture. Perhaps some of what they do will have good results. I object when
they try to change peoples feelings that may be natural feelings. I dont know
which feelings are natural or which are created by bad culture. I do know that any one who
devalues someone feelings does not know how to appreciate people for what they are. I
write against progressive people, but I do not want to change them. I would rather kill
someone than try to change him. To change a person is immoral. It violates the Sacred
Grove.

I noticed that many neopagan writers write about male Gods as if they were
separate personalities from each other, but they tend to lump all Goddesses as nothing
more that different forms of the Mother Goddess. Perhaps she is in some stories, but there
are stories where the Goddess has distinct personalities of her own separate from another
Goddess. These neopagan writers might never realize the difference between Aphrodite and
Nem. They think that Tiamat, who is filth and corruption, is a degraded form of the Mother
Goddess. White Goddess-worshipers might claim that the degraded story is a patriarchal
view. They do not understand that it is possible to invent a Goddess of filth and
corruption, without it being a degradation of the Mother Goddess.

It seems to me that the White Goddess was invented by people who lack the
imagination necessary in order to dream about real forces that surround us. Filth and
corruption are two of those forces. Anyone telling a story about filth and corruption can
use the name Tiamat. People who adopt the White Goddess mythology want us to lie to
ourselves, and ignore the real forces. Rather than expecting people to lie, lets
instead have an honest religion.

There is a South American Indian story where Jesus goes to live with the Jaguars.
The Jaguars are the scum of the Earth. The Jaguars treat him well, but the Thunder-Beings
do not want him to be there, so they send the cops, who chase him from town to town. He
travels as a bum, and brings good luck to people who treat him well. Eventually, the cops
catch him and crucify him. This story has a kind of snob-verses-slob theme, Thunder-Beings
verses Tiamat. There is more to our dreams than White Goddess-worshipers know.

The other day, I heard a gay activist and a feminist both complain about a picture
on a rock -album. A girl I know likes this album. The cover shows a woman being absorbed
by a male tree Demon. The Demon has many violent predatory characteristics. The woman has
the look of sexual ecstasy on her face. This particular singer has many girls who worship
him like the Devil. The feminist thinks that the album represents a role, which endangers
women. I guess we do a lot of the sexual things that endanger us, but dont try to
stop us. The forces must grow naturally. I admire those girls who enjoy this particular
album. The feminist and the gay activist would like to change people, by reeducating them.
This particular gay activist did not like people to complain about his habits, but he
freely criticizes other peoples habits. Not all gay people are as hypocritical as he
is. People should feel free to let the forces grow in them any way that the forces want.

I know men have inner animals, since men almost always want freedom to do as they
please. I assume women also have inner forces and dreams that make them want to be
something in life. If they do, then women should have the same rights and privileges as
men. A main idea in my barbarian way of thinking is that each person must be his animal,
without someone else telling them what to do. Feminists dont necessarily want to
free the inner animal. Instead, they idolize the White Goddess. Not all women want to be
this ideal. I know a few barbarian women who want real freedom.

Women seem easier to domesticate than men. Some people say that women are easy to
control because they are conditioned by male dominated culture to be submissive. I see no
evidence that the feminist are making women any less submissive. A successful
businesswoman may act confident, and not want to be dirty like Tiamat, but the
businesswoman is just a slave. They free themselves from male domination by giving
themselves to a new master called civilization. They are submissive to the rules of
progress. Ant colonies are mostly sterile working females. A modern office looks a lot
like an Anthill. I hope this is not the future for women.

The women can listen to their own kind of music, but I prefer a meaner kind of
music that makes guys mangle each other. This is something I like to do without female
interference. A few girls, who like violence, are allowed into our pits, but they are few
and far between. You get to be the guardian of the Sacred Grove by killing the old
guardian. Only a man who understands Nemesis can do this. The Jaguar is the force in
nature that kills. This ideal just came to me one day and I feel very protective of it.
Perhaps I am afraid to deal with my psychological shadows, so I invent defense mechanisms,
which makes my insane ideas, seem reasonable to myself. I pretend that I am brave enough
to guard the Sacred Grove, rather than admit my fears. I let out the beast within, rather
than face what is really inside me, which is something other than the beast. I dont
think so. The beast is the only thing in me.

The beast within has been locked up too long. Some people keep him out of their
circles. I will let him in. I will open the door. I will let myself out. I have
rediscovered the Sacred Grove. I will run through the woods, tear wild animals apart, and
eat them. If you think you have the courage, join us. We might even tear you apart.
